Louis. From the information you give below it appears as though
$responce is a hash reference.

However, from the snippet below it appears as though $responce is an
array reference.

Do you know the what kind of variable $responce is? To find out try
calling the ref() function with $responce as the argument:
my $ref = ref($responce);
print STDERR "response is a :'$ref'";
This will tell you what kind of variable you are working with.
See the documentation for the ref function by running 'perldoc -f ref'
Once you know what kind of variable it is you can get to the information
it holds in different ways. See perldoc perlref for details on how to
get information out of hash and array references depending on how you
want to use it.
Also, $responce may not be a simple data structure. Since it's being
returned by the method 'call' on the $rpc object $responce may be an
object itself. Where did the $rpc object come from? Do you know what
"Class" it belongs to? Documentation for this Class should tell you
what to expect when you use the "call" method and how to get the
information you need out of it.
Good Luck,
